About Us
The Club was started by three old college friends who were finding it very hard to find a netball team in the Croydon area. Once they discovered the Croydon Netball League, Chequers was born. The team started with girls who just wanted to increase fitness and have fun.
Since the creation of Chequers the club has enjoyed success and continuous growth year after year and much of this is a direct result of the culture, which has been installed into the club from the very beginning. We believe that by enjoying our netball and each other’s company we can continue to prosper both on and off the court.

Achievements
CAPS - Clubs Action Planning Scheme
Chequers was awarded the silver accreditation in the Clubs Action Planning Scheme (CAPS) in 2010.
CAPS helps clubs to function in the most efficient way, and is all about good practice in the development of players, coaches and umpires at all levels. The CAPS process highlights all the good development work that clubs are already doing; this clarifies roles and gives help and positive encouragement to new volunteers - those who might usually hesitate before coming forward. CAPS also offers a way of maximising safe and child-friendly activities and focuses on four key areas; duty of care and child protection, coaching and competition, club management and administration and sports equity and ethics. Community links are created and strengthened. These help to attract more members, spread the administrative workload and increase the possibility of securing funding or better facilities. CAPS is the gateway to a strong regional and national network of support and communication.
Chequers Netball Club are committed to providing a safe environment for all players and want as many people involved in netball as possible. We are an open club and welcome players of all standards.
